When I pull back, I wipe her tears and she wipes mine. “I love you so much, McKinley.”
“I love you, Braden. This is the most incredible night of my life,” she says.
“It’s only the beginning, baby. I have a few more surprises before I take you home and strip you out of everything but that ring.”
She looks down at it and smiles before looking up at me. “I can’t imagine anything more perfect.”
I tuck her hair behind her ear and smile. “I can.”
After we celebrated with some champagne and some making out, I texted Kallie. The four of them came back and after they congratulated us, Kallie did what she does best. She took the pictures.
I wanted this to be a night that we not only remember forever but that we could physically look back on. My girl deserves the world and tonight is the beginning of me giving it all to her.
When she lied about the reason she was here, I thought my heart was gone forever.
A simple lie brought her here but damn there was so much more behind the lie.
It brought me back to life. She brought me back to life.

Note From The Author
THANK YOU! This has been an emotional journey for me, and I can’t express how humbled and honored I am that you have come along for the ride. This series means so much to me and waiting five long years to finally get Behind the Lies out has been difficult. All the messages and emails I’ve received over the years wanting this book, have meant everything to me.
I hope you love Braden and McKinley as much as I do. They both deserved the happiness they found. All these characters do, which brings me to this special surprise for you.
